Professionals make it look so easy.
It's no wonder that lots of us end up with DIY's we can't complete!
In two days, Edwin with Baker Home Improvement, took us from this
To this
To this
Big surprise ... the paint is blue! This is the third light blue that we have used in our house and honestly, I doubt anyone but me can tell the difference between them. This one has a touch of green in it. It is Sherwin Williams Tradewind.
And, I know, the bathroom was already blue. What was wrong with that? Well, generally, we are lightening the wall color in all the rooms and also choosing purer colors. This house had, what I would call craftsman colors (sages & beiges) when we moved in. NOTHING wrong with that. But the house is small and we are blessed with lots of windows. The lighter, purer colors reflect the light better and visually expand the space.
Add the things I had already bought for this "simple little spruce up" ...
This is not great photography but this is from the day we moved in, in March.
These fixes are purely cosmetic and somewhere down the road we need to replace the plumbing fixtures, replace or repair, again, the bath tub (there are many chips in the finish/refinish), and install a new floor (there are large cracks in the grout - not good for a wet space).
I would like to replace the vanity and wall tile too ... one day.
But for today, it functions and it looks pretty good.
